Republicans: More Matthew Dowds, less, well, lots of people

“Fear seems like a useful leadership tool, but in the end it is fear that prevents us as individuals, as leaders, as a country, and as a human race from becoming our best self.”

“Because leaders will ultimately follow where we show them we want to go — a world in which we choose love over fear.”

I think the coolest thing about posting those quotes is that a Republican wrote them. This article, “Fear and The Fiscal Cliff” is worth a read. Rather than getting rid of fear, my book is about learning to value optimism. Articles like this one make me optimistic.
